When subarachnoid hemorrhage mimics
acute coronary syndrome in out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest: a diagnostic challenge
Abstract
Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is most often due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but
less frequent causes like subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may mimic cardiac disease through ECG changes and
biomarker elevation,…

Vital signs as biomarkers of early clinical
deterioration in pediatric emergency
departments: physiology, interpretation,
and innovations: a narrative review
Abstract
Background Early recognition of pediatric deterioration is difficult because age-dependent physiology and
compensation mask early shock and safety risks. This narrative review compares vital-sign (VS) biomarkers (heart rate,
respiratory…

Usefulness of S100β protein in patients
on antithrombotic drugs with mild traumatic
brain injury: a prospective cohort study in an
emergency department
Abstract
Background S100β protein has interesting metrological characteristics in the general population with mild
traumatic brain injury (TBI) but its value in the subpopulation of patients on antithrombotic drugs (ATD) remains
poorly…

Survival after multiple in-hospital cardiac
arrests due to severe amitriptyline poisoning–
a case report
Abstract
Background Amitriptyline, a classic tricyclic antidepressant, can produce toxic effects ranging from mild
antimuscarinic symptoms to severe cardiotoxicity due to sodium channel blockade. In severe cases, toxicity may
rapidly progress to…

Successful endoscopic retrieval of an
accidentally ingested toothbrush in a 95-year-
old male : a clinical case report
Abstract
Background Accidental foreign body ingestion in the paediatric age group is a common presentation to the
Emergency department, with most objects being small and round. Accidental ingestion of non-organic, long, and
rigid foreign bodies in…

Simulation-based education in an emergency
medicine clerkship in Qatar: impact
on academic performance and student
perceptions
Abstract
Background Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is increasingly used in emergency medicine (EM) training
to enhance clinical skills and decision-making. However, its impact on undergraduate clerkship performance and
student…

Severe anaphylaxis following off-label rectal
use of injectable diazepam in a febrile seizure:
a case report and clinical implications
Abstract
Background Off-label rectal administration of intravenous diazepam is commonly practiced for acute seizure
management in children when FDA-approved rectal gels (e.g., Diastat® AcuDial) are inaccessible—particularly in
low-resource…

Seeing beyond the numbers: capnography as
a vital tool in pediatric emergency care
Abstract
Purpose End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring is a vital, noninvasive technique for assessing ventilation,
circulatory status, and predicting adverse events in pediatric emergency departments (EDs). This review aims to
synthesize…

Second victims among emergency medical
dispatchers in Germany: a cross-sectional
study (SeViD-VII)
Abstract
Background Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs) play a critical role in coordinating emergency responses while
being remotely exposed to distressing incidents. The Second Victim Phenomenon (SVP) refers to emotional distress
